Pretoria, South Africa
Psalm 85:8 “Let me hear what God the LORD will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints; but let them not turn back to folly. ”
Praise Father God for my ministry. Please forgive me for not sending the month of May’s newsletter. Well, I will be sharing the month of May with you in this newsletter.
When I spent some time in Pretoria Father God gave me the chance to evangelize within the city itself. I was led by the Holy Spirit to walk the streets and preach His Word to those He wanted me to speak to. The train station and central bus stop made an amazing battle ground for the Word of Father to be served to the people traveling in and out of the city. I knew Father wanted me to be in the central park not far from the Train station area where I met this boy, Siswe who went with me to evangelize the central park area. The most amazing truth is that Jesus inspired Sizwe to walk the streets with me and witness to others. Many had the chance to hear The Word of Father God during this time we spent there. In the meantime I was invited to another church to serve them with The Word where we communed together in Father’s Presence as a family. Such a Divine privilege!
Mocambique
Our LORD Jesus Christ has blessed me to be able to go places, preach His Word, see lives transformed, disciple, mentor and counsel those He allows me to, realizing that I don’t deserve this life and have done nothing to earn it. To my Spiritual realization I am given these works(good deeds) and being shaped everyday (in Father’s hand-through Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit) to live this life intentionally and purposefully as our Father intended it. Ephesians 2:10;1 Peter 2:9
Xai-Xai Live School Training
We had a total of nine pastors from Northern Mocambique that Father blessed us with to train as facilitators for our Live School program at their churches. The time spent with these guys is so precious and invaluable. Many Praise Father, because we trained three of the pastors from Beira where Father called me to work a time ago. The possibility for Live School in Beira has been realized and is running strong as ever. Father says that we should be praying for WORKERS, because the field is ripe(the world is ready to hear The Word, repent, turn and return to HIM) so He faithfully provided leaders. Mentoring and discipling is such an important role of the church leaders toward their members, equipping them to live a purpose driven life in a hopeless world to be the carriers(of His Word) in The Hope, Peace and Joy.
Psalm 85:9,10 “ Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land. Steadfast love and faithfulness meet; righteousness and peace kiss each other.”
Distribution Trip (Victims of Cyclone Freddie)
Caia (first point)
Six pastors and I went with a train from Beira to Caia where we distributed blankets, clothes, plastic sheets for their houses and food to 20 families. We evangelized the affected communities daily and served them with the Jesus film at night. Our blessing was to lead many children from the community to Jesus and connect them with the local pastor who was with us. Psalm 85:9 “Surely his Salvation is near to those who fear him, that Glory may dwell in our land.”
Macuba (Second point)
After a long trip the stop/break at Bernadette’s Orphanage, who were very gracious to give us her property to be able to do the distribution for the 5 families, were so welcomed. Then two hours after the distribution we left for Quelimane in a private taxi to meet up with Dalida at her Orphanage. What a blessing!
Quelimane (Third point)
We were welcomed as the children of The King. Praise Father for Dalida’s hospitality. We were treated very well and received even better by the Treasures(orphans) of Jesus. The children were very well behaved and teachable. They Truly are THE treasures of Father given to us by Him to take care of. Our time was short, but we had a whole day with them playing, teaching, singing, evangelizing, helping their families and showing The Jesus film. What a blessing! Thank You Father for Inspiring us and giving us a purpose filled life.Mark 10:14 “But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them,“Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.”
Macanja Da Costa (Forth point)
Traveling to Macanja da Costa had its difficulties, but as we know Father God makes a way where there SEEMS to be none! He is so Faithful in all His ways and manners to allow us to be able to reach these far away places as Macanja Da Costa, Zambezi Province. We traveled several hours by bus and then again with a local guy on the back of his bakkie for an hour or so to eventually reach this place surrounded by tons of mosquitos. Well, this place was covered in several meters of water during Cyclone Freddie hence the mosquitos. We were also received with a huge welcome that included Heavenly singing, introductions and food. Pastor Branqino, a beautiful brother in Christ and his church was such a blessing to us. We had the Divine privilege to spend several nights with them, evangelized through the day, showed The Jesus film at night and blessed the affected families with materials. Thank You Father once again for Your Amazing Grace, Endless Mercy and Unconditional Love upon our lives. We don't deserve this life…But YOU LORD dear Father…! Ephesians 2:10 “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”
Beira (Fifth point)
My Godly journey ended in Beira where we started our Live School program with our God sent pastors. They were blessed with the necessary equipment to start this program and allow Father God to increase their Spiritual territory. Meaning that their churches will grow in QUALITY (maturing in The Word) and quantity. (lost sheep)
